The Nappert Prize in International Arbitration at McGill has always had a focus on diversity and multinationalism. It is for this reason that entrants have always been able to submit their entries in either English or French – something that also reflects the bijural nature of McGill University as well as Canada – and from 2018, entries were also accepted in Spanish. In this way the pool of possible entrants is deeper and all who participate in the process are enriched by an exchange of ideas between not only different legal systems but also between different cultures. Indeed, every year has seen entries from almost all continents and have been judged by panels representing civil, common law and mixed jurisdictions. I emphasise again then that the Nappert Prize, much like international arbitration itself, has diversity and multinationalism built into its very DNA.
